SPOILER ALERT: Dinna read unless you've finished Drums of Autumn.
Another email with my mentor and Jenn M. Jenn finished Drums today...
Not only did I think Frank is even more of a douche than I thought to begin with... BUT... I can now finally say this to both of you: Did you pick up on the reincarnation reference? FRANK IS JACK RANDALL. I have no doubt in my mind. Jamie fucked him in the end. That's why Jamie's ghost shook his head at Frank and looked at him like he hated him. I just have to wonder who Jamie became - if anyone. I always thought maybe Roger... but I don't know if he'd be able to go back in time and hang out with himself. LOL
I was upset with Roger when he didn't go right back with them, Jenn. I kindof thought "FUCK HIM - she was RAPED! If you LOVED her, you'd want to BE BY HER SIDE". He came down a notch in my mind when he did that. It's like Jamie said - did Claire mind when Randall raped him? Hell NO! She loved him and wanted to help him. I was OK with Roger when he finally showed up though - because, like he said, he showed up. He came back. He didn't leave. And that's what's important.
I am still grieving Ian. I am heartbroken still. I thought of him today and had a pang of "oh god, Ian!" I think they let him down. I really do. I know Ian's probably happy enough with those people and always wanted adventure and a thrill - but he didn't have to get it THAT way. Jenny and Ian are going to flip the hell out, too. Ian asked Jamie to keep Ian there in the US so he'd be safe... and instead he was somewhat fed right into the lion's den. They will be wishing they let him stay and fight in Scotland. Maybe that's why the next book is called "The Fiery Cross". Maybe Jenny and Ian are coming over.
What?!? I missed the reincarnation reference...can you tell me where it is??
ReplyDeleteI still love Roger.
I'm not commenting on Ian since I know how it all turns out. "Keep reading! ;)"
I have to go back and reread too. Are you saying that Jamie, by reacting to Frank, was REALLY reacting to Jack Randall? Cause I would think he'd certainly have enough reason to react to Frank, right? You need to 'splain a bit more, Lucy.
ReplyDeleteI have to go back and find the exact wording but... I felt that DG definitely flirted with the idea of Frank having been Jack Randall in a former life.
ReplyDeletedo you all remember in the first book, when frank "sees" a man in full highland regalia but it's windy out. and he notices that the man's kilt or hair aren't moving in the wind? and it creeps him out? this is before claire goes through the stones. (i think -- i may have to go check again) maybe this highlander comes back to him again, and it's jamie's ghost?
ReplyDeleteYes, Maryse you are right. It's Jamie's ghost. Claire says so in The Outlandish Companion. She says all will be revealed about the ghost in the last book. VERY intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost done with DoA...I was sitting out on the porch this evening weeping when they said goodbye to Ian at Snaketown. Himself came out and was very sweet, asking me what was wrong. I told him Ian was staying with the Mohawk. He paused, and said "So can I tell you this REAL thing about this Vortex 2 Stormchaser they just showed on the Weather Channel?"
ReplyDeleteHe doesna get it.
ROFLMAO MOLLY!!!! None of them do! Believe me!! And yes - I was beyond upset when I got to that point. Tracey had to calm me down over the phone. It wasna pretty!!
